The Ink Maze

On the night before a super typhoon, a rural scholarship student at a coastal college in the fictional nation of Yanling murders four roommates. The cataclysm that follows erases all physical evidence, allowing him to vanish into a new identity as a novelist. Decades later, his metafictional thriller—a labyrinthine confession hidden in plain sight—lures a retired detective and the sister of a victim into a maze of words where the only way out is through.
